I continue the family legacy as a full time photographer in Cincinnati Ohio! My father, Tom Byron was also a full time professional photographer now retired and living in Atlanta Georgia.

O&#39;Nally was changed to Nalley by dropping the O to disguise the Irish ancestory and adding the e to make it more English. This is a very common name in my area.<br />QMM(Queenmothermamaw) Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721708092323894355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599702957095945938.post-43655349486736075442011-06-12T01:46:42.102+12:002011-06-12T01:46:42.102+12:00thanks for all the work and research that you put ...thanks for all the work and research that you put into this.
